ROY, Utah (AP) — A resident in Utah has said a hacker stole her personal information and swapped out her banking information to steal about $400 of weekly unemployment benefits. Roy resident Heidi Howell told KUTV-TV that she lost her job in March and never received her unemployment check. Howell is now waiting to see if she can still claim the money. She also froze her credit reports, filed a police report and changed her bank account numbers. Utah Unemployment Insurance Division Director Kevin Burt said this is the first case he’s seen out of 450,000 people seeking benefits in the state. He urged people to use secure passwords.
